Do you know that the majority of oil palm trees in Kurmi, Takum and Ussa are wild varieties, meaning they were not planted by humans. For a very long time now, we do not have a plan on ground to accelerate and multiply our oil palm plantations.

The ministry of agriculture in Taraba does not even have a department for it and the college of agric and the faculty of agriculture TSU have not also seen any potential in it yet.

Not even politicians campaign about it in their manifesto.
Do you know if we decide to plant and nurture 10 million stands of oil palm stands in the next 10 years, we will be securing the future of our people? Why then can't we make it a priority!!!
Edo and Cross River states are currently leading in palm trees and if we plan and work hard, in the next 10 years, we can over take them.

When we decide to do that, we shall be creating a vibrant economy around oil palm from oil palm nursery establishments to plantation jobs to palm oil processing, alaidi, sabulun solo, palm wine to vegetable oil refining. We then shall be the Malaysia of Nigeria.

Taraba is still a state of great potentials and no one is activating that inertia state yet.
